Compared to other cars, this car is amazingly reliable and durable. I would buy it new all over again if I could.
Original 5-speed transmission failed at 205,000 miles. Found a good used one for $300.
Has its third clutch now. Clutch seems to wear out every 90,000 miles or so. Not bad for the kind of driving I do.
Just replaced valve cover gaskets - at 212,000 miles!
No major engine or electrical problems since I bought it - 20 years ago.
Except for the headlights, every bulb on or in the car is original and still works. Headlights have burned out twice so far.
A/C still works perfectly - with original factory coolant!
Everything works on it.
Handling is a joy.
Hugs the pavement and corners like a dream.
Non-turbo engine has just enough pep for me.
Can't beat the reliability. It always starts on the first try, in any weather and at any temperature.
Looking to buy a second one that isn't beat up.
I would`nt buy another one I would stick with the one you have and drive it till the wheels falls off!
You said it starts at any temperature... what kind of low temperatures are you talking about? I live in Canada and would like to know if it would start in -20 C (about -7 F) weather. Thanks!
Yes it will start in Canada. I own one and it starts better in cold weather than my new truck.
I just bought 1 1986 Nissan 300ZX a month ago in July. But where I live I get a good deal of snow in the winter, does anyone know how it handles in the snow with it's rear-wheel drive?
